Troma

[VeronicaChaos]

How is there not a Troma thread yet?!

I just ordered the DVD box set of "Make Your Own Damn Movie" after reading "Make Your Own Damn Movie" (...) and of course it got me in the Troma mood.

I rewatched Poultrygeist for the first time in a few years and...holy shit, that movie is impressive. I completely forgot it was a musical of sorts! They got pretty awesome with their special effects.

My other favorites are Terror Firmer (and the making of documentary is equally awesome, if not confusing in some places :lol annnnd of course Cannibal! The Musical. If you're a fan and haven't listened to the commentary by Matt and Trey yet, you must! It's fucking awesome. Tromeo and Juliet is glorious as well.

Any other Troma fans on the board?

I was in an mfc room a couple days ago where the model was talking about Poultrygeist. I just now realized she wasn't joking about the name Poltergeist and was referring to a real movie.

Had never heard of this.

It's a masterpiece. (And on Netflix!)

Hi MissChaos, big fan of your's here...HUGE freakin' fan! When you get ready to shoot your movie, will there be an open casting call? Because I have to be honest, it's ALWAYS been my dream to work with you. Will I need a union card? What about an agent? Not trying to kiss up to you or anything but "Cheek To Cheek" is a video masterpiece!

Ummm, I'll hang up and listen; thanks!

I started this thread to talk about TROMA, not me, and I'm not ready to talk about that anyway. Trust me, you'll know!

I feel like this thread is now tainted with my irrelevance. I mean, I'm glad you're a fan and all, but you have to stop threadjacking everything I post in... it's making me uncomfortable. I just wanted to talk about some of my favorite movies. :/

I've become concerned that you may be on some new drugs or something, eyeteach, because you've become quite the weirdo creeper around here lately.

I have no idea what this is. But there is alcohol in my system and I want to know where this is from.

This movie reminds me of some troma stuff, but next to nobody has seen it, so you guys may be into. I thought it was hilarious.

Love Troma. If I want to watch some good crap, I'll watch a troma movie.

My favorites are of course the first Toxic Avenger:


And the original Class of Nuke 'Em High:


Also, anymore remember "Toxic Crusaders" aka Toxic Avenger for kids:

Off topic: Sorry, I responded while really sleep deprived and confused eyeteach with someone else! Fuck I was out of it! sorry! I'm an accidental asshole I swear!

Just wanted to clear that up.

Back on topic: I'm watching "Make Your Own Damn Movie!" right now and it's a fascinating look into the world of Troma. I love when they're going through CBS' dumpsters to find props. :lol:

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned yet that Troma's entire catalog is (officially) available to view on Youtube.

They import a lot of world trash cinema that they put behind the Youtube PPV paywall, but all of the beloved old Troma originals are free!

I love Troma's pro-piracy/anti-copyright viewpoints. The fact that they put up all their movies for free is amazing.

Really, it's a pretty shrewd exhibition of control over their intellectual property. They can generate revenue from those streams, so they get paid for their product. Plus, what's the point of pirating if they're letting you see it, conveniently and free of charge? They also make a lot of their stuff available to stream through Hulu and Netflix, which spreads out access to their audience and increases the cash flow. That Lloyd Kaufman, he ain't no dummy!
